The power industry of the Senate has always been a weak link. Due to the delay in making qualified silicon steel sheets, the power industry boss finally decided to use pure iron to make generator rotors. Although the magnetic loss is relatively large, at least it can generate electricity normally.
As for power, it is a steam engine. The industrial system of the Senate has been able to stably manufacture multi-expansion high-horsepower steam engines. Although there are still certain stability and safety problems in compact marine and vehicle steam engines, for large-scale steam engines used in power stations and power stations, Horizontal slow-speed steam engines can roughly meet the demand.
Due to too many technical difficulties in power transmission and distribution, coupled with the prominent contradiction between electricity consumption and power supply, and excessive peak fluctuations, the early Bopu-Bailin power grid was completely disintegrated. By 1637, the self-owned power station had become Lingao Mainstream model of electricity. In addition to Bairencheng-Dongmen City, which is powered by the Bairen Hydropower Station, the major towns of Bopu, Majiao, Nanbao, Xinying, and Laocheng have all adopted the model of power-consuming units providing their own steam turbine thermal power stations. Some large power consumers, such as chemical plants and smelting plants, also need to be equipped with factory-owned power stations.
Naturally, under this power consumption model, the power industry can basically only meet some industrial and administrative power needs. There is very little electricity among the people. Except for the residential areas of the Senate and the residences of a few senior naturalized cadres and technical personnel, most residents do not have electric lights in their homes and still rely on kerosene lamps and candles for lighting; public facilities, shops and road lighting etc., mostly using gas lamps. Only a few special places with fire protection requirements will use electric lighting.
Therefore, one can imagine the sensational effect of the "all-electric configuration" of the Longhao Bay Hotel. For this reason, Longhao Bay Hotel built its own power station. The power equipment was the pot camel machine system brought from the old time and space, which drove Lingao's self-produced generator to generate electricity. Although the power number is not high, it is more than enough to supply the hotel, and the excess Electricity can also be provided to nearby units such as Lingaojiao Park.
This power station and related supporting electrical equipment are the largest investment project in the entire Longhao Bay Hotel besides the civil engineering of the building.
In addition to the power station, Longhao Bay Hotel has also created many "firsts". For example, it is the first non-Senator investment project that uses an integral frame structure of reinforced concrete. After all, many administrative buildings in the old city administrative district are still brick-wood structures or brick-concrete structures.
Although Mr. Hong does not appear on the shareholder list, he has provided full software support and guidance for "Longhao Bay Hotel". At the same time, after reporting to the Senate for approval, a branch No. 82 was opened on the first floor of the Longhao Bay Hotel, specifically for aborigines and naturalized people. There are also rumors that Wu Nanhai's wife Wu Chuqing also provided partial support and holds shares.
Under the guidance of Mr. Hong, the Longhao Bay Hotel has been booming since its opening and has become an unparalleled success. Even the Bairencheng Commercial Hotel and Hotel, which was under the direct control of the Ministry of Commerce, was in a state of despair for a while. If it weren't for the two major selling points of the business store: "political status" and "authentic Australian cuisine", Li Mei's face would probably become ugly.
The Venus Zero human-powered convoy drove into the hotel entrance in a mighty manner and stopped under the rain corridor. As everyone got out of the car, a doorman came to greet them. The doorman's attire was neither a "Ming Dynasty style" nor an "imitation military uniform" style from the old times, but the attire of the traditional old service industry, a white stand-up collared top, black Wear long pants and cloth shoes, clean and comfortable.
The delegation passed through the large copper-framed glass revolving door and arrived at the foyer. The foyer is three-story high, with a huge ceiling painting "From the Sea" painted on the dome. In the huge waves, the holy ship is held up by a group of naked young men and women. The texture of the skin was so lifelike that even the Chen brothers and sisters blushed and did not dare to look again. On the contrary, the middle-aged and elderly greasy men in the inspection team watched it with gusto, and from time to time they exclaimed: "This light is really bright."
The lights they were talking about were the large multi-layered crystal glass chandeliers, one large, two small, and three small, hanging in the center of the lobby. With the addition of electric lights, the light is brilliant and dazzling. Anyone who comes to the hotel for the first time must hold their breath and stare at it for a long time.
The floor of the lobby is paved with Hainan black volcanic slate produced in Hainan. The wooden structure is all made of Burmese teak. The lobby is decorated with flowers and green plants everywhere. Facing the revolving door is a giant rosewood carved screen, with a giant landscape painting "Spring Dawn in Viya" painted on the screen: a red sun is rising from Viya Mountain, with lush trees and flowers blooming on the mountain and below, and the Wenlan River in the distance. Meandering through. The end is majestic.
After just a few glances, Wu Yijun thought to himself: He really has a disobedient heart! However, he immediately corrected himself: This is the scene of the founding of the country!
On both sides of the screen, there is a curved marble staircase leading up to the second floor. There is a lifelike stone sculpture standing at the handrail of the stairs.
Chen Xiaobing asked them to sit on the sofa in the lobby while he went to the front desk to check in.
Chen Lin was sitting on the sofa, looking around and finding everything new. To be honest, he also went to the Big World in Guangzhou, saw a lot of Australian stuff, and read a lot of "magazines" and newspapers. He was not a "country boy". But this will go deep into the "heartland" of the thief, the "capital" of a country. From the moment he entered the port, he felt a completely different atmosphere. This huge difference was not only reflected in various "machines" or "facilities", but also in humanities. Of course, Chen Lin didn't understand the word "humanities", but the things he saw along the way, whether it was "things" or "people", were completely different from Guangzhou.
Guangzhou naturally has elders and naturalized civilian cadres. But they have been in Guangzhou for a long time, and they still have the familiar atmosphere of the old times to some extent, but here, everything is brand new. When I am in it, I am completely an "outsider".
This feeling made him uneasy, and when he looked at the girl, he felt even more uneasy. No wonder. When she grew up, although she was not raised in a boudoir and never left the house, she had never experienced traveling far away with a group of men. I originally wanted to express some concern, but I thought that although Chen Yue is my sister, there are differences between men and women. It would be too frivolous to openly express concern in public.
However, he soon saw a more frivolous scene, with men and women mixing together, walking by laughing and joking, and there was even a young woman holding a man's arm! Then I saw a young man and woman, still dressed in old clothes from the Ming Dynasty, but the man directly put his arm around the woman's shoulder, and the woman's head rested on the man's shoulder, and they came down the stairs openly talking and laughing. Although Chen Lin is not a Taoist disciple, he still can't stand it. Worried that Chen Yue would be affected, he turned to the girl with a straight face and whispered: "Don't look around!"
Chen Yue quickly lowered her head, just following her toes in a daze.
Wu Yijun smiled and said nothing, thinking that his cousin had the demeanor of a "noble family". It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty is not around, but the Senate likes this tune? What can you do! Only by following the trend can you avoid being swallowed up by the waves! To ensure the continuation of the family. The uncles and nephews of the Chen family are somewhat stubborn.
Chen Xiaobing came back from completing the formalities, already carrying a large number of key cards in his hand.
"Everyone, let me share the key cards here. Our rooms are on the third and fourth floors. You can take the elevator or take the stairs up in a while." Chen Xiaobing said, "You can rest in your room. The restaurant is on the second floor, whether for breakfast or lunch. , you can consume with the key card. You can also take a walk in the surrounding area, but don’t go too far. At six o’clock in the evening, the head of the Planning Institute will entertain you all.”
"Comrade Chen, your arrangements are so thoughtful." Shen Changxi flattered, "We all feel very sorry..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, these are all my job responsibilities." Chen Xiaobing was generous and warned, "There is a facility manual in the room. If you don't understand it, you can ask the waiter - it is available on every floor. But I have to tell you something. Let me tell you, since you are citizens of the Song Dynasty, you must obey the law and abide by the law. We are not from the Ming Dynasty, so we understand the laws of the Senate to some extent..."
"I understand, I understand, we all know it!"
After Chen Xiaobing finished his instructions, he left. The inspection team was also relieved. After a bumpy journey, we finally arrived at the place, and judging from the appearance of this inn, the Australian-style enjoyment must be at its peak.
At that moment, everyone took the key cards and dispersed, each going back to his own room. The rooms of Wu Yijun and Chen's uncle and nephew were on the third floor. The group took the elevator upstairs and felt funny when the gate was closed - didn't they become a caged beast?
I saw the elevator operator turning the lever, the machine above me roared, the cage shook violently, and then slowly rose upwards. Although everyone already knew the usefulness of the elevator, they still all exclaimed in surprise.
Wu Yijun said: "Wouldn't it be better if the big world could also have one!"
"In my opinion, Zhenhai Tower should also have one installed! My old legs and feet are not good, so every time I go downstairs, I can only look at the tower and sigh!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! It's Tanhai Tower! Tanhai Tower." Liang Chenlong said righteously and sternly.
"Yes, yes, the old man is confused." The man quickly acted like he was "old and useless."
Wu Yijun's room is 313. When he opens the door, it is a "sea view room" facing north. The large glass windows are clear and have an unobstructed view of Longhao Bay. Today, because of the excellent weather, you can directly see the Leizhou Peninsula across the strait.
"It's really a beautiful scenery." Wu Yijun sighed, "When it comes to enjoyment, Australians are at the top." Seeing a pair of rattan rocking chairs in front of the window, he couldn't help but sit on them immediately and slowly rocked his body. , with an expression of enjoyment on his face. Suddenly he seemed to have remembered something and greeted:
"Yongshou!"
Yongshou, his valet, was carrying the luggage from the corridor into the room. When he heard his master's call, he hurriedly responded: "Master!"
"Go to the bathroom and put some water in. Master needs to take a shower and change clothes."
"Yes, sir!"
